Measurement of biodegradable substances using the salt-tolerant yeast Arxula adeninivorans for a microbial sensor immobilized with poly(carbamoyl) sulfonate (PCS) part I: Construction and characterization of the microbial sensor

A microbial biosensor based on the yeast Arxula adeninivorans LS3 has been developed for measurement of biodegradable substances. Arxula is immobilized in the hydrogel poly(carbamoyl) sulfonate (PCS). The immobilized yeast membrane is placed in front of an oxygen electrode with - 600 mV versus Ag/AgCl. Arxula is salt tolerant; it can give a stable signal up to 2.5 M NaCl in sample (120 mM in measuring cell). The sensor's measurements are highly correlated to BOD 5 measurements. It has a very high stability which can last for 40 days without any decrease in signal. The linear range of the sensor is up to a corresponding BOD value of 550 mg/l. | A microbial biosensor based on the yeast Arxula adeninivorans LS3 has been developed for measurement of biodegradable substances.
